Explore all of UCAR Center for Science Education's activities here: weather, climate, sun-earth, atmosphere, and more. |
Peruse multi-week curriculum units aligned with Next Generation Science Standards that allow K-12 students to take a deep dive into learning about weather, climate, and Earth system science. |
Teaching Boxes are collections of classroom-ready and standards-aligned activities, content, and multimedia that build student understanding of science, technology, engineering, and math. |
Explore air pollution with activities aimed at helping students understand how ground-level ozone and other pollutants form and how they impact our health. |
Discover clouds through scientific investigations of how clouds form and observation and art activities. You can even make your own portable cloud! |
Experience weather outside or investigate weather through data, graphs and maps. These activities range from simple explorations of snow, to more through analysis of climate change and weather. |

Help your students understand how Earth is a system. These diverse activities explore how changes in one aspect of our planet can have wide-ranging effects, particularly because of the cycling of energy, water, nitrogen, carbon. |
Revised description: Have students explore how the atmosphere changes with altitude in terms of air temperature, pressure, and atmospheric phenomena and learn the physics of air pressure. |
Solar energy is the reason weather changes and the reason that Earth isn’t frozen. These activities explore energy, albedo, light, and color. |
Investigate the ways that engineers help scientists explore and measure the atmosphere, and ways the atmosphere influences engineering designs. |
